I think this is a little silly and stretching the language a bit.
I agree entirely with what you're saying about being able to reframe a mood. I feel relatively in control of my emotions, and am normally the person to try bring a positive spin on a bad situation.
However, the happiness I get from reframing something is exactly that. It's "happiness", relative to the immediate recent sadness.
If you accept that there's any nuance or scale to happiness, then I think it's incorrect to say that happiness relative to reframing something bad is equivalent to "genuine happiness" of e.g. the success of a loved one, or a major life celebration.
